Dr. Zardkoohi was kind, a good listener, and teacher. I saw him for a second opinion and he spent more time with me in our visit than my previous EP did in the entire year’s worth of appointments I had. Dr. Zardkoohi explained his clinical recommendations and helped me better understand my condition. I valued his input and knowledge. He put in place a plan of care and a future plan should additional issues arise. I can tell he is passionate about what he does and I’m grateful for his time.
